Freedom of Speech

Submitted by Jeff (United States), Dec 19, 2002 at 13:05

Although I do not appreciate "whitewashed" information, I do agree that this is free speech within the editorial agency of PBS. What we should be demanding is not suppression of this film, but equal coverage of the rest of the story.

Unfortunately, PBS would probably do again what they do so often, provide token balance to ideas different than their political, econimical, environmental, social, or religious slant.

Nevertheless, our responsibility is to present the truth as convincingly as this program presents what it presents.
